    Hello, my name is David from Costa Rica, I’m 20 years old.

    I’m young, or at least that is what people usually say to me when I tell them my current life situation, I live alone, work and study. Since I was 15 years old I feel that my life isn’t joyful at all but now that I’m going through a part of my life where my heart tells me to make a new life in other place, I don’t know if that will be a good choice. I do have the chance to make my dream “come true” but another part of me thinks that I’m just running away from some family issues (drunk uncle who sometimes tried to hit me) and old memories from my childhood here (large story with a depressive mom). I have this need to let go so many thing but at the same time I’m confused after a relationship ending, family problems and my own problems. Please, if you can say something to enlight my way through all these crazy things that are happening I really appreciate it. Wish you the best,

    Dave.

    Listen to your heart and heed not to the fear causing doubt. Free yourself from things/people and situations that no longer serve you or help you grow. Do it and make your dream come true…no one knows what tomorrow may hold so take your chance now and be happy and excited about what wonders and great experiences you will have. Wish you luck man.

    Hi hakko,

    At your age, even if you had the best family on the planet, you would still feel an urge to make your dreams come true and travel. And a good family would want you to spread your wings and be happy. Pretend you come from that wonderful family!

    Blessings,

    Inky

    Hello my friend,

    When I graduated high school I felt the same way as you, the urge to go live a life full of adventure and mystery but I was afraid. What if it didn’t work out? hell I didn’t even know what I could do to make this possible. The truth was was that I was scared, I was scared of making any changes in my life because I was afraid of making a mistake. So I settled for a job behind a desk. It was great pay, great security, and great benefits. A phenomenal company, really. I was comfortable. But deep down I knew it wasn’t right, I was not happy, I was just content. 8 years later…that feeling that I had (the one you are feeling now) had not gone away…it was multiplied. I finally decided to make a big life change. I am still in the beginning of this change and I am terrified, I have so much self-doubt but I know I have to fight these feelings to get what I want…I know it might not be the right decision but I am okay with that because I am no longer going to settle for a life that I don’t want.

    Please remember that for me these feelings you’re feeling never went away. They only multiplied. My only regret was not making a change sooner in my life…

    If you want I can provide you an E-mail and we can chat more.

    Thank you all for your responses!

    It’s kinda weird for me to start a new life with nothing but myself life and a new home with some space to plant trees, vegetables and live with some chickens (that’s my dream hehe). I know that sounds very unrealistic for todays world but I feel an urge for do it, I don’t want anything else, well, at least after a few years of saving money from my work I can afford it.

    I’m leaving everything from my country, breaking boundaries with my family and even selling my little apartment. I’m very affraid but deep inside me I know that this is fate for me, I feel I must do it.

    Bar, Inky and Michael, thank you for inspiring me and helping me. It’ll be great if we can share more words.

    Waiting for a change,

    Dave.

    In today fast paced life, we are too caught up with ourselves. Happiness is a choice. Decide to be happy no matter what. Accept what we have no control over. volunteers in community work, you will be rewarded with a sense of belonging. See the world through others eye and realised how blessed we are.
